Inception (2010)

Inception Synopsis

Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in an original sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobbís rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossibleóinception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming. This summer, your mind is the scene of the crime.

Michael Bayís Transformers film franchise is a crushing colossus that callously walks across box-office surfaces to the sound of trembling Earth as it smashes its competition to bits. Yet, the only real takeaway from the films is that they break the world to bits in each entry. Now, thanks to this hilarious supercut, we get to see an array of our favorite films suffer their wrath!

For years the debate has been raging over whether the top is still spinning at the end of Christopher Nolan's Inception, and for years everyone thinks they've got the right answer. Add us to that list, as we've picked a side and we've got the proof.

The world's greatest filmmakers tell their stories from the very first frame in their movies to the very last. Need proof? Just watch the amazing supercut below, and you'll notice just how many brilliant films have beginnings and endings that work in stunning tandem.

If you thought Inception was too long, too complicated and/or too difficult to understand... chances are you're not alone. Lucky for me (and anyone else suffering from Inception confusion) Mashable has released a TL;DW video simplifying the events of the film using animation, dragons, fart jokes and more. Check it out below.

While a movieís box office numbers are a good sign of its popularity or the level of anticipation it was able to muster, one could argue that Blu-ray sales are an indicator of just how beloved that title is.

Someone should tell Chris Nolan that he needs to re-edit his 2010 critically acclaimed blockbuster Inception, because there is a mother out there who really doesnít have a clue about what happened in the heist thriller. You can check out her epic re-telling below. But you should probably be warned that it doesnít make any sense.

A strong case could be made that Inception is the single most complicated big budget movie ever released. Iíve seen it about a dozen times, read complicated write-ups and talked extensively with others, and Iím still not sure I understand everything that happened. Itís a ludicrously in-depth and complicated logic puzzle.

It is baffling to me to see that the most pirated movies are the very movies that work best on the big screen. Movie piracy continues to be an issue, and based on the list of most pirated movies, those who are opting not to pay for their entertainment prefer the big blockbuster movies, Avatar topping the list with a whopping 21 million downloads.

The MTV Movie Awards are like a televised drinking game for celebrities. It doesnít even matter who wins or looses. No one remembers who won a beer pong game from five years ago, just like no one remembers who took home that popcorn statue. The whole point is for movie stars is to show up, have a few laughs with their friends and then call it a night

If you've been paying any attention to the awards over the last few years you won't be surprised that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse led the nominations total with 8, and will compete against Best Picture nominees Black Swan, Inception and The Social Network

Sucker Punch failed to get it right. But there are movies out there that not only take place largely in dream worlds, or places existing entirely within a character's head, but do it exceptionally well. We spent a week figuring out exactly how to define these

I choose to see it as the only logical result in a year that was crammed with great movies, all of them worthwhile for their own reasons and all of them deserving of their moment. Even films that didn't take home a single prize felt well-honored by tonight's ceremony

Though it wound up missing out on a lot of Oscar nominations it deserved, and probably won't take home more than technical prizes on Sunday, Inception has racked up 9 nominations at the awards ceremony guaranteed to love it: The Saturn Awards

All purchases will come with all the available special features, as well as trivia games and the ability to easily post comments and responses on Facebook and Twitter. The special applications are already available, and if successful, Warner Brothers will launch a more expansive offering of movie apps throughout 2011 and beyond.

I cover nearly 200 movie news stories a month here on Cinema Blend. In addition to giving me an excuse to thinking about movies from the time I wake up till the time I go to bed, it also gives me a pretty good sense of whatís going on in the film industry and what kind of projects are moving into development. You want to know the biggest thing Iíve learned after writing more than 1,700 articles for this site?

Last year, as we here at Cinema Blend celebrated the end of the decade, I wrote an article titled ďFilm's 10 Best Music Moments In The Aughts.Ē The goal was simple: look at the all of the movies from the past ten

It's like the swap meet. If you go to one of those booths and the guy behind the counter keeps steering your attention toward two or three items, it's very unlikely you'll consider purchasing the battle axe at the end of the table. Marion Cotillard is that battle axe at the end of the table

I'm honestly not surprised they ditched this one, since it's a little messier and harder to understand. I also have no idea what's up with that tagline-- "If you think your thoughts are safe, they'll change your mind."

The RJDJ app for the iPhone may help you turn listening to music into a full blown trippy experience. The app takes sounds it hears from the environment around you and incorporates them in augmented form

The Big Under is the second comic put together by the group and it seems to be coming along nicely based on the endless submissions it seems to have gotten. Even though the gallery isnít in any particular order

What can we learn from a summer with so few superhero movies, so many flops and very little that will be fondly remembered by the time the air gets cool? Believe it or not, there are a few trends to be found

Inception is a great movie, but itís made even better by Hans Zimmerís incredible score. Even if you havenít seen the film, the music from the trailer has almost certainly found its way into your brain

The summer of mediocrity marched onward this weekend with three new entries making minimal splashes in theaters. Despite big names attached to each, none mustered enough audience interest to topple Inception which
